Wish I could share my pictures on my first tiling job been watching your videos it 3 by 12 glass subway it looks awesome used Lev Tech and 7 in Diamondback I did order the p 4 but found that the DeWalt glass blade worked better.
I love the technique for cleaning the tools, most guys use acetone that i see but I have a better option...keep your tools clean!
Your miters always look perfect. It's hard to miter tile unless youve been diagnosed with OCD
Lol...so true! I'm a tiler and I have it! My jobs always take longer than average but my detailing is well above average.
Honestly good work, I'll start offering this option to my customers. And great production value on the video, really shows how much effort you put into shooting these compared to some other videos I've seen online!
Thank you sir! I certainly appreciate nice comments like this. 👍🙏
I really need to clean my levels,Wow!👍👍👍
I am so changing the blade on my wet saw, that looks clean 👌
this looks great! perfect for a raised spa!!
You are a badass! Thank-you for the video on how to create a modern look with porcelain tile!
best tile guy. i learned alot from.you
I think you need a slight slope outer to inner on the curb to avoid water run off going outside the shower. Otherwise, great job. And pretty slick level trick as well.
It was a demonstration as he said. I’m sure he knows to do that on a job. You could slope it on the floor of the shower
Great video brother, i think you should keep doing tutorial videos like that. Keep one tutorial for week, and flooring techniques too 👍🏻
Thats the harbor freight diamond back! Crazy! That’s what’s up
Great video! I have never seen levels cleaned that way before!
Looks Great as usual. I did quite a bit of mitering this week myself.
It looks like that diamondback wet saw is working out great for you so far which is awesome!..... Anyways, thanks for another video man! 👍
Wow !!! It was great job bud !!
Perfect job 👌🏻👌🏻
@landbergtiletv I love your demonstrations! Great tool reviews as well! I just went out and purchased the Diamondback 7". Man what a great saw! I'm a remodeling contractor in Michigan and have been doing tile work for 15 years. Best saw I've used since I first got my 10" MK 15 years ago. I think the MK is now going to be retired for the most part. Mitering has become much easier with the smaller blade. Much less chatter on the edges. I even put my bullnose blade on the saw and it had great results. I hate the metal edges now I can do away with them. Keep up the good work!
That's awesome, thanks for sharing brother! 👍
Worth coming here for the level cleaning techniques. Was going to try and be a keyboard warrior and find the slightest mistake and then pull apart your work but none there whatsoever. Great job,from a fellow tiler from the uk.
Thank you sir, I appreciate the watch and comment 👊
Nice Work !!!
Świetnie to wygląda! Dobra robota!
Dang...love it ...thanks bro.
Looks great
Cool way to clean levels , never seen that before!
The method works good brother!
That was a very cool method for cleaning your levels. Your miter cuts are perfect, you make it look easy. Nice job.
Looks beautiful. I would be reluctant to use this on a curb as you make water ingress easier if one of those mitered joints fail.
what do you mean fail?
this tile saw is much better than the MK hands down price and quality far superior. everyone should look into this when time to purchase
I could’ve stopped at the level cleaning tip and been completely satisfied. 😂👍
lol thank for the watch and comment brother! 👊
Making it look easier than it is lol. You are killing it man. With the production and the reviews. Keep it up
That looks great! Nice to see new ideas.
Nice!
Nice trick with the great stuff. You look like a made man in those glasses.
Ur the best 🙏💪👍👍👍
Awesome video.
Thanks buddy!
Dude... That level trick was amazing.... My levels are grey from me using a margin to scrap the thin set off lol
Maravilloso trabajo 🎉
thanks!
I like yr channel as in all to do with tiling
I did a corner shower with porcelin tile. seat, curb, door entry with all 45° os corners. It was very time consuming but sure looked nice.
Yes, time consuming, but well worth it.
When you like your job you will always become successful!
Great job! When you're working with the kerdi curb how are you sloping the foam to get proper drainage?
Use the thinset to obtain your pitch/slope.
Nice.
Two questions:
(A) I am trying to create a “built up” tile baseboard that is 3/4” thick and 6” high. The baseboard has to look monolithic and have a finished top edge. It is in an institutional setting and must be durable. Is it possible to build this up and basically “glue” the miter using an epoxy resin adhesive as is commonly done with stone? The color and sheen has to match the 12 x 24 tile being used on the floor.
(B) When you do your miters...beautiful BTW...are they “knife edge” or is there a tiny flat “quirk” to avoid chipping...and if so...how large? 1/16” (+/-)?
Great!
thx!
Привет! Круто!
Here is a much easier way to clean levels. I use a PVC pipe thats longer than my longest levels and fill the pipe with the acid solution. For the shorter levels I just tie a string and lower them down . Super easy and reusable.
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
If using sanded grout throughout, what do you do to seal the joint between the miters? Silicone colored the same as the grout? Thank you for your reply and time!
Yes, silicone matched would definitely work.
Great pro-looking curb! Any suggestions/tips on getting grout into those miter joints?
Gloves, fingers and time 👍
Are curbs suppose to have a slight slope toward the shower ?
What saw do you prefer for miters? What blade were you using? Really clean cults.
Dewalt is always the best, Delta Cruzer is second..
How do i work out the length of a tile from an edge to compensate for the tile thickness an adheasive'
then the tile at 90 degrees.Love your work
Respect from Australia
I like the term tilest.
What was the size of the tiles you used, and what was the measurement of the final product?
What blade do you use buddy
A sharp blade and a reliable saw are key for this job.
Is a wet saw all you need for mitering the tile? No polishing pads? Do you get all the way to the edge with the blade? You're good. I miter with a wet saw close to the edge leaving about 1/6 - 1/8 to the edge and then i carefully remove another 1/6 with a grinder and lastly i use a coarse polishing pad. My miter gets perfect but it's time consuming.
Yup, we do that also with grinder polishing pads. The wet saw doesn't get it perfect every time as you know.
Great vid. Do you space the mitres to match grout lines? Or keep em tight. I can't imagine a 1/8 gap for example would look good on a mitred edge.
Keep them at a 1/32 - 1/16
@@LandbergTileTV thank you for the reply! I've learned alot from your vids. Keep up the great work.
How did you set your vertical tile height? Looks like double the tile thickness
Looks great! Love that cleaning trick....Levels are always clean, but going to try that on my trowels asap..... Anyone else worry about mitered porcelain edges being too fragile over time?
You mention you grout the miter joint. I am assuming you want thinset to extrude out of miter joint and then clean with a sponge to leave room for grout. Do you use grout for miter joint or silicone? I have heard grout is susceptible to cracking for 90 degree tile joints. However I am concerned silicone will make miter edge more susceptible to chipping damage. Thoughts?
Thanks to you I am going to return the bulky 6” marble top. The Schluter curb is already a bit to wide for my 60x48” shower.
Would you go with the shower tile which is polished or use the floor tile which obviously is not and it a contrasting color?
Did you use a 1/4” notch ?
Awesome job.
We cut our Schluter curbs down to about 3" x 3" shown here czcams.com/video/s48VsPH43kE/video.html
Also, keep in mind it takes a lot longer, is harder to miter and potential to chip on the miter edge if you don't use epoxy. I would recommend ripping down quartz and installing than for a niche sill and curb top. It has no grout joints, so easy to clean and maintain.
Looks really good, I like the way that looks, I may try that on one
Wow that chemical you use to clean is brilliant!!
Give it a try!
I used it to clean my husky folding knife and the blade lock button disintegrated! Must have been made from some cheap metal.
Where do I buy the curb from ?
Do you not use a resin to fill your mitred edges?
Prism and sealers gold
Thinking to do that on my kitchen table but am scare is too fragile on corner, better with trim ??
You will at least need Schluter Finec trim.
Any tips to avoid blade deflection on mitre cuts ? I seem to get that often and I’m using a 10” beast wetsaw… guessing I’m doing something wrong
Porcelain burns out blades when mitering. You'll simply need a new blade.
When you grout the miter edge can you see the unpolished edge?
No, the miter show's only the polished edge.
Sir which blade did you use to make 45 corners??
Diamond P4
Can you caulk the mitered edge instead of grouting?
Caulk won't help support the edge to prevent chipping.
What curb did you use here? It doesn't look like schluter. Thank you!
old video, old Schluter model of a Kerdi curb
Can it be done with large format glass tile?
negative
I suggest making the front of the curb slightly higher because you do need slope for water runoff
Thanks for the tips with cleaning levels, great Stuff!
Was wondering, what about the incline toward to shower for water drips? would you happen to know what thickness of shim to put under the tiles while cutting bevels in order to get the same crisp line you showed? Much appreciated, thanks.
Yes, always have a slope and pitch towards the shower pan. I don't understand your second question...
@@LandbergTileTV do you keep a 45 degree on the saw while you bevel the tiles the same or you adjust in order to account for the slope by using a spacer on the tile table to adjust the bevel so it's tight? I asked because the shower side would be really nice and tight with adjusting with tinset but the other side outside the shower would open up a bit more given the slop going inside the shower. you either have to grind down the heel of the bevel because it won't be tight. just wondering if it matters that much since the curb is just 6 inches and it doesn't show that much?
@@almanages Okay, I see what you're asking. Yes, I keep a 45 degree on the saw during each and every miter/bevel cut. You can still obtain your slope and get tight joints. The slope is very slight, so the joints will look the same on the inside and outside of the curb. It will match on both sides. 👍
@@LandbergTileTV Thanks a bunch, saves me from testing this myself. I appreciate your response.
When you are pulling measurements for the sides are you just adding say a 1/4" extra on the top to accommodate for the thinset? Going to be using a 1/2" trowel.
Yes sir, that's exactly what you do. It's best to get thinset to squeeze out of these miter joints for full coverage to protect the edge.
@@LandbergTileTV Awesome. Going to take my first try at mitered joints this weekend. Thanks so much for your help as I have watched all of your videos for ideas.
Looks like the harbor freight saw with the p4 works good.
Yes sir it does!
Could you recommend the grout for miter cut corner as well
We use prism
@@LandbergTileTV what’s that? How about kerapoxy
how do you grout mitre edge ? What solutions there are ?
We grout with Prism grout, it takes a little more time, but the miter edge looks great!
Shouldn't you leave a 1/16th space on the miter?
What kind of saw blade are u using
That blade is a Pearl P4 mesh
Looks great ,is there a pitch to the curb ?
yes sir, I should have shown the bubble
@@LandbergTileTV noob question... which way or which plane does the curb pitch? Thx for sharing
How do you cut the 45 degree angle clean like that :0
10" wet saw
Did you 45 the top pieces as well?
Yes, that is a must.
How would you 45° cut a 4' long tile
Grinder or Dewalt D36000
👍
Goboard makes me itchy but It is a good product
The edges of curb won’t break or chip off easily because that 45 degree ?
We've never had a problem
What kind of a diamond blade are you using? I know it will look like an advertisement, but please share.
Thanks!
Hey Jordan, it appears he has a pearl abrasives P4 turbo mesh wheel on it. Probably the best blade out at the momeny. Hope this helps
That's a great blade but you can't put a finger on the blade to cheat the cut one way or the other. It'll rip your finger up!
Any chance you could pass along the name and brand of the tile you used in this video?
Don't know, it was a special order.
What's the brand of your tile cutter?
that's the harbor freight Diamondback 7
How often would I cut my feet and toes on those sharp corners?
Not sharp after you bevel with diamond pad, and yeah, step over the curb.
Nice! Can you do a video about blades?
Yes air, that's a great idea!
I’ve been enjoying watching your shows. I actually make tile and now I’m starting to install as well. I have clay studio and a tile press. I make custom molds, glazes and clay bodies too. Porcelain. Ceramic and stoneware. I’m seeing some custom “Tile Life” tiles! Check out my insta. @Neworleanstileco
👍👍👍👍
👊😎
Does that sulfuric acid work with concrete
I don't think so, concrete is so porous..
Correction, it's Sulfamic acid not sulfuric acid (I get 5 pounds online for $22, Big Box wants $8 for a pound) it is mildly corrosive (wear gloves and eye protection) but not deadly, Sulfuric acid, on the other hand with eat your skin. Muriatic Acid (very corrosive also) or SCR (concrete.
What type of blade are you using
P4
Thanks
Soo the trick to miters which he doesn’t mention it’s to spend a good amount of time polishing the edges with a variable speed grinder using grit 50-100-200
👍
There are no edges to polish.
Is it better to cut the tile upside down for the mitre ?
Yes, we prefer to cut that way, also it will tend to hit the arm of the tile saw upright.
@@LandbergTileTV i find my dewalt tends to wander a bit if only half the blade is on the tile. Once the full blade hits. Then it corrects. I have a Pearl 10”. So i know its quality. But some of my miters arent as clean and straight as ive seen on your show. So im trying to find techniques of the pros
@@christopherr7195 The diamonds tend to burn out quick with miters, we angle the tile to the left to compensate for the miter edge to look the same from top to bottom. It takes practice and newer blades for sure.
@@LandbergTileTV thanks for the tip
Came for the shower curb, stayed for the free life hack at the beginning.
lol thanks!
👍🏽
Why no back butter? Just curious.
We always do, but not for demonstration purposes. I should have done it though...next time.
@@LandbergTileTV ah, that's what I was thinking. Those little details will get people wondering. I did a video on grouting river rocks and didn't add that I caulk around the perimeter afterwards and the comments came lol. Love the channel. Glad your video suggests mine or I would have never found ya. Personality is on point.
we want a new video lets go
No spacers on the mitered joint?
Eyeball it 👊
You like living on the mitered edge!
